Anaba is a tracker of Navajo origin. She has spent her childhood in the wilderness hunting using only a bow and a spear.

When reaching a certain age, she had to complete an ancestral ritual to meet and pay respects to her ancestral spirits. The ritual had to be performed at full moon a certain day - not sooner, not later.

The forest is full of surprises. Three days before the ritual, Anaba decided to go to the wildland and hunt some small game. Everything was going well until a grizzly bear caught her off-guard, forcing her to retreat further away from the village. A week has gone by and she was still far away in the mountains, trying to make her way back home.

Failing to assist to the ritual made her ancestral spirits angry. The tribe shaman, led by the will of the spirits, has summoned Iya to curse Anaba. A dark mist fell upon the mountains that night and Anaba disappeared.

The legend says Anaba got converted into a tree. The truth is way more frightening.

Tracking - Anaba can track the killer the same way the latter can track survivors. Killer tracks can be seen for 4/5/6 seconds. Concealed killers (Wraith, Freddy) still leave tracks.
"While hunting, the eagle leaves its nest unprotected. Find the nest and the eagle will beg for your mercy" - Anaba




Surprise Attack


Adapt and Improvise - Once per game, during the first 1,5 minutes of the match, Anaba can equip 1/2/3 perks from the ones she has available. Once the game started, she can click the RMB to open the perk menu (just like the loadout menu before the game started) and equip the desired perk(s). The perks can only be equipped on empty slots. This allows her to tailor her loadout according to the map, team and killer.

Anaba is a huntress by heart and she is not accepting the role of being a victim. Her perks allow her to have an aggresive play and potentially rescue her teammates without the need of a flashlight. The adaptive perk selection can be really useful if she plays her cards right. By chosing the "Adapt and Improvise" perk, she has to rush and find out who the killer is in order to select the appropriate perks before the timer expires. Say, if she is dealing with the Wraith, she can select Premonition. Now, if the killer is the Trapper, she can equip Small Game or Slippery Meat.
This flexibility compensates for the additional perk slot the "Adapt and Improvise" perk occupies.

Anaba is a high-risk high-reward survivor and she is probably the most appealing to those players who have a good idea on which perks and strategies work the best in each situation.

Unlike other survivors, Anaba does not look as if she lived in the 21st century. For ther clothes, she only uses materials she can find in the wilderness - pelt, leather, wood and feathers. Her name means "She returns from war" and she stays true to it.

The comment section is quite active so here I will be sharing the ideas I find reasonable and interesting:

By @Billy McSaggyTits - Could make the stone throw apply a more powerful, blurred vision effect, similar to the one used for when Bloodlust starts. For example, the edges of the screen become very blurry for about ten seconds. This would provide help in escaping a chase, replacing the stun entirely.

By @Ominous - "Suprise Attack" - Remove the 50% generator repair speed penalty; and make it a 50% self-heal speed penalty instead

By @Adam-Matic Gaming - Make Freddy and Wraith untrackable. Both are weak enough as they are and compromising their stealth might be a bad idea.

By @Pyrocite - He might be right that the gen repair speed penalty might introduce more toxicity. "Suprise Attack" might now reveal the player for 5-7 seconds after being used and it can now only be used one time per match, making it similar to Decisive Strike. Unlike the latest, you can save a teammate, but in exchange you compromise your own safety. No generator repair speed penalty in this case.

By @ Billy McSaggyTits - It'd be nice if you could also see you and your fellow survivors footprints as well, but they're shown in blue. So you know if hiding is an option or not.
